ORLANDO, Florida — For the second straight year, Greg Reynolds' bid for a U.S. Senior Amateur Golf Championship ended in the quarterfinals.

After getting off to a roaring start, the retired General Motors executive from Grand Blanc was beaten 3 and 2 by Jeff Burda of Modesto, Calif.

Reynolds won the first three holes — taking Nos. 1 and 3 with pars while making birdie at No. 2 — to go 3 up.

But Burda won No. 4 with a par, No. 10 with a par and No. 12 with a par to square the match. Reynolds continued to struggle on the way to the clubhouse, making bogeys to lose the 13th and 14th before Burda went 3 up with a birdie at the 15th.

They halved No. 16 to end the match.

Reynolds was trying to win the Senior Am for the second time. He won it in 2002 and was the runner-up in 2004.
